    Another OLB guy I like is Brooks Reed out of Arizona, he's a bit of a poor man's Clay Matthews.
    Brooks Reed really separated himself at the senior bowl. The guy never gives up on a play a la Clay but Isn't half the athlete.

    Well, that's why he's a "poor man's" Matthews and a second day pick at best. Remember, we're trying to upgrade from Frank Zombo, the bar isn't set especially high.

    From Zombo or from Jones? Unless I'm off the mark, I would expect Jones to resume his spot in the starting lineup barring a drafted player taking over.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    I'm all in favor of just throwing things at the ROLB position until we find someone who sticks.

    If Reed's got some rocket boots at the combine and does really well on the jumping or the 10 yard dash then I'll be on board with him. You gotta love his look though. I'm not sure he's the best pass rusher on his own team. Elmore has some moves as well. What made Clay such a steal is that he was miscast in USC's 4-3 as a SOLB who had some rush responsibilities. The guy that kind of fits that bill this year is Illinois MLB Martez Wilson. They've moved him around and let him get after it and supposedly he's good at it. I've never seen any of him for myself though.
